Anger is universal, its variations in the human species well documented. Under certain conditions, it can even work in our favor. Here, the author examines how we manage anger, its positive and negative aspects, as well as its manifestations--biological and in the form of bodily expressions. Through intellectualizing our anger, she says, we rationalize it. Yet when we act solely out of emotion, we increase our vulnerability. The author suggests appropriate means of expressing our anger and of accepting the anger of dying patients.
